Newent Bridge Club, Gloucestershire

We meet twice a week, Wednesdays and Fridays, at Newent Community School,on Watery Lane in Newent.

Play starts at 7p.m. on Wednesday and 7.15p.m. on Friday. We would ask you to be seated by 6:50 p.m. on Wednesday and 7:05 p.m. on Friday, to give the Directors time to arrange the movement and still start on time.

Wednesday is the competitive evening and Friday has two duplicate sessions with Gentle Bridge playing fewer boards and no Masterpoints awarded. This session is where students are introduced gently to the format of duplicate bridge at the end of their lessons, and Standard Acol conventions are played.

Visitors are welcome, but may not win one of our trophies, and are invited to join the club after visiting 3 times in one club year..

Bridge Lessons for Beginners

Bridge Lessons will start again on Friday 21st September 2018, for beginners and those who have played years ago and would like to start playing again.

See the Learn to Play Bridge option from the Menu for more details. If you have any friends or relatives who would like to learn to play, or who have played in the past and would like to start again, then please get in touch with me on 01989 770949 or by email at janet@kilreague.com.

Gentle Bridge on Fridays - All Welcome

We now have 2 duplicate sessions on Friday evenings, one for the more competitive players with Masterpoints being awarded, and the other, Gentle Bridge, for those members and visitors who want to play a more social game of bridge. This latter session started as a mechanism for last years students to start playing in a Duplicate with limited number of boards and advice and guidance available if they got stuck. Other people have now joined the sessions, both members of the club and visitors who will join the club in September. We play 15- 20 boards per session using standard ACOL (with a few simple variations) and Masterpoints are not awarded. It has been decided to extend the invitation to play in the Gentle Bridge session to all our members, and any other friends they feel might enjoy playing in such a session. As this session is hosted there is no need to bring your own partner.
